ClassicMcGee:python has its own originality .. We have languages that have been coined recently or I can say are relatively young . React native was made by devs from Facebook for building not so complex native apps. Go was built by devs from Google also |

wane01:Thanks i understand that, what i don't understand is while: true. I think you understand cause i don't how to explain. |

wane01: So learning JAVA/C++/C would make me understand programming basics better, so i can easily switch to a new language? |

ClassicMcGee:Sure. It basically executes statements repeatedly as long as the condition (boolean expression) you’ve given is true Syntax while(booleanExpression){ //your statement } Example class WhileLoop{ public static void main(String args[]){ int classicMcGee = 25; //Integer variable set to 25 while (classicMcGee <=30){ System.out.println(classicMcGee); classicMcGee++; } } } 1. So it checks if your condition is true (in this case, we’re checking if classicMcGee who is 25 is less than or equal to 30). 2. If the condition is true, the variable is incremented by however much you’ve set, in this case, classicMcGee++ means it will be incremented by one every time 3. This will continue in a loop until the condition is longer true, so when it hits 30, it will stop. E.g. 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. Infinite while loop example This type of while loop is when the loop never ends as long as the condition given is always true. Syntax is the same you just change the condition class WhileLoopInfinite{ public static void main(String args[]){ int classicMcGee = 25; //Integer variable set to 25 while (classicMcGee = 25){ System.out.println(“ClassicMcGee, don’t you age?”); classicMcGee++ } } } It will print out the line ‘ClassicMcGee, don’t you age?’ infinitely lol 1 Like |

ClassicMcGee:do some research first.. some languages have many branches u can explore like JAVA .. it applies to mobile nd a bit of web (spring) and same also python where u can make softwares and also do web apps using its frameworks. As for the basics python or html can help what separates languages are the syntax structure and a few things |

ibkayee:u wrote in java ... wouldnt it be best if he learns the while loop in python so he can grasp the main message nd recode |

wane01:I don’t use python so sorry for any mistakes number = 1 while (number < 10): print number number = number + 1 Output: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Logic: 1. As long as ‘number’ is less than 10, print ‘number’ (eg. number is 1 because it has been set to 1) 2. Add 1 to ‘number’ (eg. 1 + 1 = 2) 3. The value of number is now stored as 2 4. Continue (loop) 5. As long as ‘number’ is less than 10, print number (eg. number is 2) 6. Add 1 to ‘number’ (eg. 2 + 1 = 3) 7. The value of number is now stored as 3 8. Continue...(loop) 9. Stop when the value of number has reached 9 because 10 is not less than 10 Real life logic: As long as (ClassicMcGee practices): ClassicMcGee will improve If he stops he won’t So the condition is that ClassicMcGee practices. As long as he continues to practice he will improve. As soon as he stops he will not improve |

ClassicMcGee: Java is actually good, learning C++ might not be a good idea, because you will have to learn alot about C++ and some indepth stuff and understand why certain things should taken into consideration than evn learning the language, but at some point the knowledge of C++ is very strong, you wlll really gain deep insight. however the main question is your drive, if you learn and don't follow up and build something with it, then it means you're just wasting your time. |

ClassicMcGee:Hey dear, I studied it at school. Trust me once you get the hang of it, you'll look back and realise what I did was nothing special lol but I'm happy to help. Learning the syntax isn't that tough, it's the problem solving/how you're to apply the code in certain situations that can be the most challenging, it really helps to practice ![]() 1 Like |
